CELEBREX  (CELECOXIB):  This medication is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), specifically a COX-2 inhibitor, which relieves pain and swelling (inflammation). It is used to treat arthritis, acute pain, and menstrual pain and discomfort. The pain and swelling relief provided by this medication helps you perform more of your normal daily activities. If you are treating a chronic condition such as arthritis, ask your doctor about non-drug treatments and/or using other medications to treat your pain. See also Warning section. This drug works by blocking the enzyme in your body that makes prostaglandins. Decreasing prostaglandins helps to reduce pain and swelling.   (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA) FDA Approval Date: 2002-08-29

 5  Knee arthritis None so far Miracle drug! I was in pain constantly. Shooting, burning and radiating up and down my leg all the time. Hard to drive, sleep and sit in chair. If I do ever get side effects the pain relief will be worth the trade off. Take it with food that will coat your stomach like yogurt or bananna's. It's awesome! F 47 4 days

 1  osteoarthritis bladder pain, burning, increased frequency of urination, blood in the urine. Unfortunately, my doctor missed making the connection with taking celebrex, but thanks to the internet and sites like this, I figured it out myself. It wasn't working very well as a pain medication anyway! F 56 3 months

 3  osteoarthritis The 13 years were divided up between Celebrex, Mobix and Maloxicam. I stopped Celebrex during the scare and then returned to it 2years ago This side affect is probably related equally between Celebrex and other NASIDS. About 4 years ago I started to suffer with muscle cramps which were Extremely painful. They seemed to come after I would do yard work in the hot Florida sun. After a work session in which I sweatted heavily, and after I cooled down I would suffer a series of cramps. In my hands, legs, arms, sides and other various parts of the body. Doctors were unable to deturime the cause. some said Dehydration, others perscribed Potasium or magnesium, but nothing worked. I could get some reliefe from vinegar or tonic water , but these were only termporary. About 6 months ago I was advised to stop the celebrex for about two weeks durinf some minor surgery. Near the end of the two weeks I noticed that I hadn't had any cramps.I have stayed off celebrex and now months and th M 78 13 years

 5  headache, joint stiffness I am frequently very hot and turn red in the face without sweating; a little stomach irritation I love this medication since I cannot take aspirin and ibuprofen upsets my stomach. I also have physical therapy and use ice, but Celebrex has kept me going. I wish I could take 2 per day, but i am afraid to do so because of the data on Vioxx and the heart. F 67 10 years

 4  Psoriatic Arthritis Rash, itching, bowl over working,weight gain, cough, gas, heartburn, I was prescribed Celebrex when Vioxx was taken off the market, was never really happy on Celebrex I discussed it with my Rheumatoligst but he did not think the side affects were that important. It wasn't till speaking with another GP that she pointed out that it could be Celebrex causing the "Side Affects" I was experiencing so from today I have stopped taking it and time will tell if I've made the right decision. I will take Paracetamol on a regular 4 hourly basis for pain relief instead. F 67 10 years

 1  RA the usual from poisoness drugs; note if you ask me a question leave me your e-mail address or I can't respond all of the drugs only work for the first few months; ask Michael douglas and his stage 4 cancer diagnosis only after 9 months. However I hve found that post chronic effective cures can be found and in the RA case vitamin B complex and the honey-vinegar diet; these can be found at Dr (PhD not MD) Saul's website doctoryourself.com, or his book Fire Your Doctor, which I did (so did Michael Douglas!).

Patient History
 1  Knee swelling from arthritic build Muscles cramped after stopping. Could not walk, sleep, sit, or move without muscle weakness and pain. Dr's said nothing they can do. I haven't meet anyone with positive comments. There are many law suits outstanding against the mfg. They should take it off the market. In Canada, there is no law to follow a drug once released. Shameful! M 60 2 weeks

 1  arthritis pain After the 28 days my legs were swollen so I quit taking it. Since then I went and had 2 sea clay wraps which pulled out a lot of the fluid. Now both of my inner knees are swollen and I have pain all up and down my legs. This is a bad drug...not only did it not do a thing for me, now I have more problems than before...problems I never had. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone. Should be off the market. F 57 28 days

 3  hip replacement pain Osteo. Dr. put me on 2x per day because I have pain with a Depuy hip replacement, promises I'll be better in 2 weeks. Gave me my choice of Celebrex or Aleve. I chose Celebrex; but now I'm wide awake in the middle of the night, anxious, nervousness, what should I do? Would a high doseage of Aleve give the same effect? For pain, Great! but I'm afraid of side effects. I take Cartia for irregular heartbeat, am I affecting my heart med? F 72 12 days

 5  Back & Leg Pain NONE I can't believe the DISSING this drug has taken by commenters. This drug was the first COX-2 breakthrough drugs...no crappy side effects like other NSAIDS...yes, I mean no Crap. This drug works great with me and I have taken it since it was introduced, in fact I told my RHUM-doctor about it first! I do only take it when I have pain not every day but when I do have sharp Arthritic pain I take it and voila in a couple hours I feel much better. THANK YOU CELEBREX FOR GIVING MY MOBILITY AND LIFE BACK! M 48 12 years
